Our Recipe: Cultured Pasteurized Organic Soy Milk

Soy milk is a plant-based beverage made from soybeans and water. The soybeans are typically soaked, ground, and then strained to remove the solids. Cultured pasteurized organic soy milk has undergone a process of adding beneficial bacteria (culturing) and heating to kill harmful ones (pasteurization), using organically grown soybeans.

Soy milk is used as a dairy-free alternative in a variety of foods, including yogurt, ice cream, and baked goods. It can act as a base for plant-based products, providing a creamy texture and a source of protein. Manufacturers use it to create dairy-free versions of common foods.

Soy milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and is often fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Some research suggests that soy consumption may have benefits for heart health, though evidence is mixed. The WHO has evaluated soy products, but no specific health claims are universally agreed upon.
